“I spent my childhood between layers..., layers of soil, the terraces, where my grandpa used to cultivate olive trees and vineyards, and layers of history defined by my home town, founded in the 4th century BC. Layers of memories, layers of sentiments, layers of life, one on top of the other are infused in my pieces.”
